+===== Licensing =====
+{{ :vai:pasted:20250513-101000.png?396}}
+If you launch vai without a valid license, you will be greeted with the License Manager.
+Please enter your Activation Code and *Activate Product* to license the product.
+You can deactivate a license from VAI's main menu to transfer it to another computer.
+A detailed explanation of the licensing options is available in the License Manager window itself.
+<WRAP center round tip 60%>
+For now, both the license server and trial license are, at best, experimental.

+You can verify your license in the About window.
